Name Game

Happy Hump day, well this is the day I`m taking Karen from My Colonial Homes post challenge on how my blog name came about. So here goes......... One evening in the winter of last year I was searching the back pages of the Country Sampler directory, wanting to find a few good primitive sites when I happened to find one, well, I was reading the post when on the side there was this blog list, what the heck is a blog, clicked on one blog and boom, prim heaven, she was decorating her cozy primitive home for Christmas and showing pictures of rooms full of so much prim goodies. I was so thrilled, clicked on another blog name, again, wow, here was this person showing me her beautiful home and the crafts she was creating, OMG!!!! thank you Lord. So from one blog I just kept going, entering the blog name in my favorites to see what they were doing next. I found some of their emails and began to email some gals and some were so so friendly, emailing me back, encouraging me to start a blog. Oh ya, I had just recieved a laptop the following year for Christmas so I was still learning, how the heck was I to start a blog. So one afternoon my girlfriend popped in and I started to tell her about these great primitive blogs I found and showed her a few and she said, you can start one, say what!!!!!!! so thats how I started my blog with her help, but........... now a name. Since I love everything primitive I wanted that in my name as well as stars, have a thing for stars to. I said Primstars, well she started to laugh and said it sounds like Pornstars..... I agreed, so that was out, no thank you. She said why not Primitive Stars, ya, I liked the sound of that, so that is how my name came to be. My first post was March 11th 2012, I was so so nervous, what do I say, will anybody read my lonely little post on this new prim blog. I didn`t know how to put pictures on so it was a bit boring , by my third post I had my very first comment, oh boy, was I happy, it was from such a dear sweet blog friend, Carol from Buttermilk Creek Farm, she had helped me many a time with how to do things on my new adventure into blogland. Thanks Carol, now I even have followers and such wonderful friends who comment and read my daily life going ons. I cannot thank you gals enough for being there to listen to my ramblings, my life has become so much richer and fullfilled, this has been one of the best things I have ever done, creating a blog and making so many great friendships in blogland. I admire so many of you who work, craft, do it all and still have time to share your life with us, I find such joy in reading your blogs, I`ve cried, laughed and prayed with many of you, once again I thank you from the bottom of my prim heart, Warm Blessings Francine.

I loved hearing how your blog was born. You gave me a good laugh at what your friend said about the first name. I do love the name of your blog! I think you did well! Glad you started one! If you're like me, you just learn as you go! I can't imagine not blogging. I love it so much and have met such wonderful people!

What a sweet story, Francine! I love your blog and it's name, so glad you were able to work it all out with your friend! I came about blogging much the same way, looking in the back of Romantic Homes magazine. I found some blogs and I was hooked. I'm still amazed people come to read my little old blog!!

OK I laughed out loud when I read that your friend said it sounded like pornstars! LOL I am just loving reading how everyone got started and got their names. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day, Be blessed, Cindi

Porn stars..LOL..I have always said your name is everything and now knowing how you decided on yours was interesting...it was wriiten on the primitive stars! So glad I found you and other prim sisters...its fun reading about everyone! Take care Francine! Janice

I have loved reading how everyone began their blogging journey. I had a comment on my first post, but then not another comment for about 5 or 6 more.lol Although I had began to keep track of what was gong on in my life. Things kind of just swerve and change as life goes on. I love visiting you here.Keep on keeping on. Blessings~Sara

Hi Francine,Love your story!! This is a great way to meet so many great folks. Now I will have to get out of my mind "pornstars". That made me giggle. I would never have thought of that but luckily your friend could see the possible problem!Enjoy your day and thanks for sharing!Barb

That is a nice story about you came to be blogging. I love reading about that. You are still new and you are doing great! Thank you for visiting my blog these last few days. I laughed about how your name was almost primstars. I guess it does look that way. I remember my first post was going to be about my chicks that had just hatched and I wanted to all it hot chicks, because it was 113 or something like that day. Then I thought maybe I better not. It is so nice to meet you,Kim

Francine!! I LOVE this story of how you started your bloggin! I am so glad you did cuz I am blessed to know another Francine and blonde!! Wondering though if you are as flighty as I am? LOL Love ya, Fran.

What a fun post, Francine....At least you took a little time to "investigate" this whole blogging thing before just jumping in head first like I did.... You are off to an amazing start, I'd say.....So glad you found me - and I you.... Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
